Country music songwriter pleads guilty to tax evasion

Country music singer-songwriter David Allan Coe pleaded guilty Monday in federal court in Cincinnati to income tax evasion and owing the IRS more than $466,000.

The 76-year-old, who wrote the song "Take This Job And Shove It," owes the IRS outstanding taxes from as far back as 1993, according to court documents.

Coe allegedly used the money earned from live concert performances on other debts and gambling, rather than to pay his taxes in full.
